Hailing from Nairobi, Kenya, it’s easy to see where his inspiration comes from: Across Africa, millions of people lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances present insurmountable obstacles.
DeFi, not just Maker or Aave for example, but think Bitcoin and USDT, eliminates the middleman. Forget about banks and their limitations.
Still, DeFi is not a magic bullet. The continent still struggles to secure reliable internet access, and awareness campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Plus, even for those who are interested, understanding DeFi can be like learning a new language.
Dalmas is here to help make technology easy to understand and digest, even for beginners.
The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. The challenges are many, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful driver. Through innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa’s full economic potential.
This opportunity and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue to spread the word about key innovations in DeFi and beyond around the world. His engineering background further strengthens his ability to deliver thoughtful articles that combine technical insight with clear, impactful reporting.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dalmas is passionate about technology and policy. Policies drive the adoption of these technologies, and being at the forefront and following their evolution is essential for the field to mature.
When Dalmas isn’t keeping up with the latest cryptocurrency-related happenings, he can be found out in nature, exploring the scenic countryside and traveling with his family and friends. His love of adventure and discovery perfectly complements his skills as an investigator and journalist.
